So, i have a history of thyroid nodules and hyperthyroidism during pregnancy. I have been taking the O multivitamin for about 4 months and the O deflect for about 2 months( 1 pill twice a day for both or half the dose due to finances). lately, i have this feeling in my throat like a shirt collar is too tight, but only on the left side. If i feel my neck with my hands, my neck doesn't feel totally symmetrical. So my question is, can the two supplements i am taking trigger more thyroid nodules or adversely affect my thyroid in any way? I will see a doctor eventually for this, but wanted to know if anyone else has any experiences like this.

'heal the gut, heal the thyroid'......famous sentence by Dr D

how much does your gut need fixing?

probably quite a bit! 40 plus years of sugar/carb/corn loading.

balancing your ecosystem first!!

The Deflect has bladderwrack, and I  have a thyroid nodule history.  Bladderwrack is now an avoid for me.  Other forms of seaweed are ok though.  I would stop the deflect for now. Hope you are avoiding wheat and probavly soy also.
Amy, where are you in Jersey?  My parents are still in Ocean County....

Paula, thanks. that is what i was worrying about was too much iodine sending myself into hyperthyroidism. i am definitely avoiding wheat and soy too. i really need to get swami, but it is at the bottom of the list of things! my lumpy neck feels less lumpy the past 2 days. i also have asinus infection/upper respiratory infection because i was overdoing it on the non-compliant cheese. it is possible it was related to that. not sure. i may hold off on the deflect for a while and only use it when i know i will be non-compliant.
btw, i am in hunterdon county, middle of new jersey on the pennsylvania side. but also have relatives (on my hubby's side) in ocean county.

Hope the thyroid settles down for you!
